Could anyone tell me if it is possible to get any of Mozart's Piano Concertos arranged for piano quintet. ie. piano plus string quartet?

I have a feeling I saw the sheet music for this combination advertised once, but so far have not been able to trace the publisher. Any help would be much appreciated. In particular I would like to play K488 in 'A' but many of the others are of course wonderful.

If you cannot find an arrangement, why not do it yourself.

You could simply extract the string parts from the full score and give them to the quartet. You would transcribe any vital woodwind parts and give them to whoever in the quartet is not especially busy.

I bet it would be fun to do, as well.

If you do your own, I suggest you choose early ones. In the later ones, the wind writing becomes important. I have arranged the C minor (K 491) for piano and wind quintet, and found fewer problems than if I had used only strings. ISTR reading that he intended the earlier works to be suitable as piano quintets.

Good idea! Thanks I will certainly do this if no-one can tell me where to find the parts suitabley arranged.

Point taken about the orchestration in the later ones. Unlike Chopin's piano concertos (where the orchestral parts are somewhat perfunctory) Mozart's orchestral scores are rich, complex and the equal of the piano writing. Let me hasten to say that Chopin's piano writing (even though the piano concertos are early works) is wonderful.

I had the pleasure of playing K491 and K466 with an amateur orchestra some years ago. Not in public let me add!
